Certain Significant Estimates [Abstract]
Certain Significant Estimates	Note 13. Certain Significant Estimates Our estimates that influence the financial statements are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. The following estimates affecting the financial statements are particularly sensitive because of their significance and it is at least reasonably possible that a change in these estimates will occur in the near term. Goodwill and Intangible Assets We evaluate the recoverability of the goodwill and intangible assets of each of our reporting units, as required, by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The fair values of our reporting units are determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples based on historical and projected financial information, in addition to other commonly used valuation methods. We apply our best judgment when assessing the reasonableness of the financial projections used to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company encounters risks associated with sales and the collection of the associated accounts receivable. As such, the Company records a provision for accounts receivable that are considered to be uncollectible. In order to calculate the appropriate provision, the Company primarily utilizes a historical rate of receivables written off as a percentage of total revenue. The historical rate is updated periodically based on events that may change the rate such as a significant increase or decrease in collection performance and timing of payments as well as the calculated total exposure in relation to the allowance. Periodically, the Company compares the identified credit risks with the allowance that has been established using historical experience and adjusts the allowance accordingly. The underlying assumptions used for the allowance can change from period to period and could potentially cause a material impact to the income statement and working capital. Beginning at the end of the second quarter 2014 and continuing into the third quarter of 2014, the Company implemented a companywide, weekly, practice of reviewing our accounts receivable and vigorously pursuing collection of past due accounts and keeping slower paying customers within reasonable days outstanding. As a result, our accounts over 60 and 90 days outstanding decreased steadily. Given this information we reviewed our allowance for bad debts and determined we were over reserved by $0.2 million. Pursuant to ASC 250-10-45 paragraph 17, a change in accounting estimate shall be accounted for in the period of change if the change affects that period only or in the period of change and future periods if the change affects both. As such, the Company made the $0.2 million adjustment to the allowance for bad debt at July 31, 2014 and Selling, General and Administrative expense for the quarter ended July 31, 2014. This change in estimate is reflected in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Selling, General and Administrative expense at and for the twelve months ended October 31, 2014. Given the continued success of collection efforts, and the results of its periodic reviews using historical rates and assumptions, the Company’s Management believes the allowance at October 31, 2014 is appropriate. Deferred Tax Assets: The Company currently intends to maintain a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence related to our sources of future taxable income exists and the Company is better able to identify a longer term solution to our overall current credit situation. Therefore, the amount of deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted in future periods based on a multitude of factors, including but not limited to a refinancing of the Company’s existing credit agreement with its secured lenders, and such adjustments may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 13. Certain Significant Estimates

Our estimates that influence the financial statements are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. The following estimates affecting the financial statements are particularly sensitive because of their significance and it is at least reasonably possible that a change in these estimates will occur in the near term.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We evaluate the recoverability of the goodwill and intangible assets of each of our reporting units, as required, by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The fair values of our reporting units are determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and market multiples based on historical and projected financial information, in addition to other commonly used valuation methods. We apply our best judgment when assessing the reasonableness of the financial projections used to determine the fair value of each reporting unit.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company encounters risks associated with sales and the collection of the associated accounts receivable. As such, the Company records a provision for accounts receivable that are considered to be uncollectible. In order to calculate the appropriate provision, the Company primarily utilizes a historical rate of receivables written off as a percentage of total revenue. The historical rate is updated periodically based on events that may change the rate such as a significant increase or decrease in collection performance and timing of payments as well as the calculated total exposure in relation to the allowance. Periodically, the Company compares the identified credit risks with the allowance that has been established using historical experience and adjusts the allowance accordingly. The underlying assumptions used for the allowance can change from period to period and could potentially cause a material impact to the income statement and working capital.

Beginning at the end of the second quarter 2014 and continuing into the third quarter of 2014, the Company implemented a companywide, weekly, practice of reviewing our accounts receivable and vigorously pursuing collection of past due accounts and keeping slower paying customers within reasonable days outstanding. As a result, our accounts over 60 and 90 days outstanding decreased steadily. Given this information we reviewed our allowance for bad debts and determined we were over reserved by $0.2 million. Pursuant to ASC 250-10-45 paragraph 17, a change in accounting estimate shall be accounted for in the period of change if the change affects that period only or in the period of change and future periods if the change affects both. As such, the Company made the $0.2 million adjustment to the allowance for bad debt at July 31, 2014 and Selling, General and Administrative expense for the quarter ended July 31, 2014. This change in estimate is reflected in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Selling, General and Administrative expense at and for the twelve months ended October 31, 2014.

Given the continued success of collection efforts, and the results of its periodic reviews using historical rates and assumptions, the Company’s Management believes the allowance at October 31, 2014 is appropriate.

Deferred Tax Assets:

The Company currently intends to maintain a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence related to our sources of future taxable income exists and the Company is better able to identify a longer term solution to our overall current credit situation. Therefore, the amount of deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted in future periods based on a multitude of factors, including but not limited to a refinancing of the Company’s existing credit agreement with its secured lenders, and such adjustments may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
